Installation

Install SpringBrand in Cursor

Use SpringBrand tools in Cursor.

Create a SpringBrand account, or sign in if you already have one.

2. Install SpringBrand

Install through your Agent

Paste this prompt into a new conversation in Cursor:

Paste into your Agent chat

Install or update SpringBrand in Cursor using https://plugin.springbrand.ai/INSTALL.md.

Enable Full Access before installation begins so your Agent can install SpringBrand and save its connection settings.

For a terminal-based setup, use the CLI steps below.

3. Authorize the connection

When your Agent asks to connect your account, choose an authorization method:

API key: open Account Settings → MCP API Keys, then click View installation key or Create key. Provide the key when your Agent asks.
Browser sign-in: ask your Agent to use browser sign-in, then complete the authorization in your browser. Keep the setup conversation open until your Agent confirms the connection.

4. Start using SpringBrand

When your Agent confirms that setup is complete, restart Cursor and open a new conversation.

Check the connection

Show me the SpringBrand tools available in this conversation.

Once the tools are available, try your first task. If they are missing, see Troubleshooting.

Optional: set up from the terminal

With Node.js and npm installed, run each command separately. Continue only when both succeed:

Install or update SpringBrand CLI

npm install -g @springbrand/cli@latest

Check the CLI installation

sp --version

Connect your account with an API key or browser sign-in:

Connect with an API key

Copy a key from Account Settings → MCP API Keys. Replace {{INSTALL_KEY}} below with your key, then run:

Replace {{INSTALL_KEY}} with your key

sp connect cursor --url https://connector.springbrand.ai/mcp --api-key {{INSTALL_KEY}} --json

Or use browser sign-in

For browser sign-in (OAuth), run:

Start browser sign-in

sp connect cursor --url https://connector.springbrand.ai/mcp --json

Run the login command printed in the output, if there is one, then authorize access in your browser. Keep the terminal open until sign-in finishes.

Complete any remaining connection checks shown in the output, then restart Cursor and open a new conversation. For errors or unfinished setup, see Manual installation checks.

Optional: manual MCP installation in Cursor

Follow this illustrated guide to add SpringBrand directly in Cursor MCP settings.

1. Open Cursor MCP settings

In Cursor, open Customize → MCPs, then select New MCP Server. Choose User for all projects or your workspace for this project only. Cursor opens an mcp.json file.

Cursor Customize MCPs page with New MCP Server and the User and Workspaces destinations visible — Choose where Cursor should save the MCP connection. Click the image to enlarge.

2. Add the SpringBrand server

Add this entry inside mcpServers and save the file. If the file is empty, paste the complete example below. Keep any other servers already in the file.

Cursor MCP configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "springbrand": {
      "url": "https://connector.springbrand.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor workspace mcp.json with springbrand pointing to the SpringBrand MCP URL — The saved workspace configuration in a clean test folder.

Return to Customize → MCPs. If SpringBrand does not appear, run Developer: Reload Window from Cursor's command palette. Open the SpringBrand card and switch its source on.

3. Authorize and verify

For the manual MCP setup, select Authenticate on SpringBrand's card. Review the requested access in your browser, then approve it to finish connecting. The card may show Needs authentication before the browser step.

Cursor SpringBrand MCP configuration showing the enabled source and authentication required status — After enabling the source, Cursor asks you to authenticate.

After browser sign-in finishes, open a new Cursor conversation and ask it to show the available SpringBrand tools.
